some of governor romney's plans. you have taken exception to the president east plans. who do you think, you know, supports what you would say in this book? >> when i think of what's going on right now, i think of the great depression. i don't think it's as bad as the great depression, but i think it could be. the great depression got worse and then it stabilized and then it got worse for another five or six years. the reason it got worse, and this is from amity sclais, "the forgotten man," a book about the great depression, she says that government forgot and the depression got worse and worse and worse. we've got to understand those are bad policies. but i think businesses right now are terrified of the president. so my book is about regulations, but i think it makes a big difference whether or not you have a president simply who is friendly to business, in a way that he encourages business to invest. and businessmen across the country are terrified. >> some people would say a bailout of the auto industry was frien

governor romney, he's a good debater. i'm just okay. but, what i'm most concerned about is having a serious skugsz. >> let's get to brad woodhouse, the communications director of the democratic national committee. it's nice to see you again. thank you for talking with us. >> thank you, good morning. >> good morning to you. let's talk about strategy. if, in fact, that is correct, and that governor romney is going to, and has been practicing zingers to sort of throw in to the debate in order to have moments, which, you know, i think that that is what the media grabs onto. a moment in the presidential debate, what is the strategy for the dems if that's the case? >> well, look, i think for the president it's to ignore those. i mean, you know, the president doesn't think the debate should be about zingers or trying to put points on the board, as he said. it's about having a discussion with the american people. so you know, i think mitt romney will be disappointed if he thinks he's going to debate the president into some contest who has the h
